BPAL review: THE TELL-TALE HEART

[cerusee]

THE TELL-TALE HEART

This is a swollen, pulsating, thudding scent, heavy with dread; a steady, unceasing, throbbing harbinger of retribution and doom: blood musk, cocoa, black pepper, allspice, dragon’s blood resin and vetiver.


Starts out very strongly and recognizably cocoa--rich and warm and inviting, and a little spicy, probably from the pepper and the allspice. The cocoa fades into a background scent within the hour, leaving what I think is the dragon's blood resin dominant--I really like that, because chocolate is a nice smell, but not interesting enough for me to want to smell it (but not eat it) for hours, and it's neat when the perfume actually changes on you. This is very cool, and I expect to use it all up.
